CAPPER-TINCHER BILL GOES THROUGH HOUSE Voigt Withholds Filibuster Favor of Future Trading Meas- k ng of be- be in ure He Advocates. The House today. by a vote of 208 to 75, passed the Capper-Tincher bill to supplement the future trading act 2 as to meet the recent decision of the Supreme Court. Representative hY t did not interpose his one-man filibuster to delay the bill's passage because he favors that legislation. He was on hand. however. to begin his filibuster later to carry out his purpose of retaliating against Hous leaders in their efforts to adjourn Fri- day. Forces House to Adjourn. After Iving in cold storage all day yesterday. the Voizt filibuster broke out again in the House last night, abruptly halted proceedings and forced adiournment. The Wisconsin ro_rml»!irnu_ handling the filibuster without help, demanded a roll call at the opening. which showed 284 members present, or thirty-three more than the largest number voting Saturday. Thereafter he held back. permitting the grain futures bill, the only measure up during the day, to jog along. But when it went to the House proper. with fourteen amend ments, Mr. Voigt demanded a sepa- rate vote on each The bells brought 263 members scurrving to the chamber to vote on the first of the fourteen. Then. quite unexpectedly, Mr. Voigt withdrew his demand and the House cheered. A moment later, however, just as the bill was up for passage, the Wis- consin representative called for the reading of the engzrossed copy of the esixteen pages. Tt hadn't been en- grossed and the House quit. The Voigt filibuster has cost the taxpayers £251.896. according to fig- ures computed by Representative Valle, republican, of Colorado. He calculated the number of hours that members have lost in answering roll calls which served no good purpose. Pointing out that the filibuster is being waged on account of personal dlsgruntlement over postmasterships, Representative Vaile said that the “§281,396 that they have cost is more than the salaries of all the postmas- ters In the gentleman’s district.” D e ITALIAN STRIKE SPREADS.

G. W. Jones, who conducted experiments on the trucks, found that nearly all the machines used a mixture teo rich in gas. Before the ad- justments the exhaust gas was found to run 5.8 to 12.3 per cent carbon dioxide. All the machines were adjusted to give 11 1o 12 per cent carbon di- oxide at a speed of about five miles per hour, the usual speed for trucks. On level grades the car- bon dioxide dropped about 1 per cent under that on upgrades. A fleet of forty motor trucks Is used by the bureau, mostly of five and seven and a half tons capac- ity. The volume of gasoline con- sumption is considered to have been affected by two factors—33 per cent due to machine, 33 per cent to carburetor adjustment and 33 per cent to the drive WL BE SOUGHT Committee Offers New Plan Regarding In- dustrial Home.

Chamber of Commerce Head Calls on Business Interests to Co-Operate in Distribution. Business organizations affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States were called upon today by Ju- lius H. Barnes, president of the cham- ber, to lend their co-operation in the effort to prevent a runaway coal mar- ket by setting up machinery for co- ordinating the distribution of coal among their local industrial and indi- vidual consumers. Each of the 1400 organizations— chambers of commerce and trade as- soclations—was urged to appoint a fuel committee to make an immediate survey of the lccal coal situation. Proposing the plan as supplemental to the suggestion of Secretary Hoover that _public utilities, railroads - and metallurgical industries, as the largest Coal-consuming groups, appoint buyers’ committees to co-ordinate their pur- chases, Mr. Barnes said: “In view of a possibllity of the strike continuing until depletion of stocks be- comes serious, 1 believe that in the general public interest this situatjon Should be anticipated as much as possi- 1 suggest that you appoint a fuel com- mittee to survey the conditions relative 1o stocks on hand and the needs in your cpmmunity or industry, and that this {ntormation be compiled so that if the situation does become serious it can Used in any plan for distribution of availgble coal.”” . — MORSE APPEAL FOUGHT.

Mr. Gordon, in asking that the spe- cial appeal be denled, suggested that the defendants be required to pro- ceed in the regular way to trial and that in event of a conviction they could raise the points of law they seek to bring up on a motion in ar- rest of judgment or through a writ of error. He asserted that it would not take six months, as intimated by the defendants, to try the cad d claring the time required probably would not be longer than six weeks.

June 27.—Soviet Rus- ria will have its first tussle with the representatives of weetern Europe at The Hague conference today, when M. Litvinoft and his associates meet with the subcommission on credits. Later in the dgy the Russians will confer with M. Patyn, president of the central commission, and the chairmen of the three subcommissions to agree on the procedure of the conference, plans for which were upset by the fact that the Russians are represent- ed by only three delegates, and are thus unable to form subcommissions similar to those organized by the non- Russian conferees.

The Tchitcherin top hat, which was, apparently, the single relic of aris- tocracy in the bolshevist delegation at Genoa, has not arrived at The Hague. At least, M. Litvinoff and his two associates did not exhibit it when they called at the foreign office to- day. M.

Tmne Associated Press has obtained, with permission to publish, a copy of a private report on Ru which will be distributed to the chiefs of .the s from the non-Russian countries. This report embodies the views of a prominent and competent European observer of liberal tenden- cles, who recently came from Russia after making a thorough investiga- tion of the political conditions there. The report contains ten paragraphs, remarkable for their brevity. The name of the investigator is withheld by agreement. The “ten points” fol- low: First. Barring unforeseen events, the soviet regime is not near collapse. The most ardent adversaries of the soviets think they may continue in power for another ten years. Second. The economic exhaustion of Russia is complete and admitted By the soviets. All power of purchase has_disappeared. Third. ‘The soviets ‘are. divided among themselves and internal strug- gles have begun. Hatred of Csars Survives. Fourth. Hatred of the old regime is general among the people. Fifth. Blockade and forei, mili- tary sion have maintained the soviets in power, but rgsumption of contact with Europe will destroy them snd accelerate their evolution in_the direction of comservatism. Sixth. The soviets recognize with- out hesitation that only the foreigner can reconstruct Russia.

Tenth—The blockade and foreign military interventions have developed very powerful nationalism and xeno- phobia in Russia “The world,” savs the report, “must keep these facts in mind. Still Demanding Credit. Russia wants credits before an thing else. This pronouncement w made by Maxim Litvinoff, head of the Russian delegation, on his arrival here, in his first statement to the press, and it has created consterna- tion among the representatives of the European countries here, because they had virtually agreed to discuss credits last of all—after some tenta- tive accord had been reached on the questions of private property and Russian debts. Some of the delegates believe that persistence of the bolsheviki in this attitude may imperil the conference: they point out that there can be no serious conversations about loaning money or opening credits until some satisfaction is first obtained concern- ing property and debts. Belgium and France will be the first to oppose the soviet procedure. DEMOCRATS HOLD “POW-WOW" HERE iChairman Hull and Aids Dis- cuss Campaign Funds and Other Matters.

The meet- ing authorized the chairman to appoint an acting secrotary to succeed Edward Hoftman of Indiana, who recently re- signed, and this selection will be an- nounced in a few days. Tt is sald that the democratic na- tional committee still faces a consid- erable deficit from the last campalgn. although the deficit has been appre- clably decreased in the last few months. Ways and means were discussed for filling up this hole In the national finances and for reaching out for money for the approaching cam- paign. Party Leaders Present.

The Illinois representative con- tended that newspaper reports of the disorders in many cases were “very inaccurate,” and said that, according to local papers of Marion, his home, “not one-fifth of the press reports to the metropolitan newspapers were true” He said he regretted the “re- pulsive and horrifying details” con- tained in some accounts, and added: “I know that many of the revolting, gruesome details are not reliable and not true in many instances. If the people of the country were better in- formed about the circumstances which led up to the tragedy they would take a different vitw of it.” Not Excusing Force. While not excusing a resort to force by the union miners, Representative | Denison said it was well known that | Whenever non-union miners were taken into southern Illinois to mine coal there had been a tragedy.

The assistant manager of the hotel testified at the inquest that Mr. Sal- tus was extrefmely temperate, but that week before his death he had acted somwhat pecullarly and was unusual- ly agitated over the death of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, which seemed to upset him. Other witnesses testified that death apparently was due to cyanide poisoning. After Mr. Saltus’ death one of two glasses found in the room smelled strongly of cyanide and the other of ginger. The coroner’s officer sald there was nothing to show whether the deceased had taken the mixture intentionally or by accident. It was found that Mr. Saltus previously had purchased cysnide for cleaning old sil- ver colns. SIR AUCKLAND ON VACATION.
